Kirsten Tomlinson

Solicitor

About me:

I am a family and matrimonial solicitor dealing with all aspects of family law. I am committed to developing a trusting relationship with clients in order to achieve the optimum results which is in their best interests. Whilst I show compassion and the ability to empathise, I ensure that realistic advice is given from the start so that clients can make an informed decision on how best to proceed with their case.

I pride myself on my client care and aim to give an excellent service to all my clients as divorce and separation can be one of the hardest experiences an individual has to go through.

As a member of Resolution I am dedicated to resolving disputes constructively and in a non-confrontational way.

Key cases:

Acted for a father in an international relocation case where the mother wanted to take the child to live with her new partner in America. The case concluded with the child remaining in the UK and father was awarded more contact.

Acted for a husband in a financial matter where there was a substantial property portfolio A settlement was reached through round table discussions and without needing to go to Court.

Acted for a wife who was being coerced into signing a clean break consent order after a settlement had been reached with her husband where there had been no financial disclosure or legal advice sought at the time. I successfully turned over the decision of the Judge to proceed with the case due to it being more complex than originally suggested by the husband’s barrister.

My top tip: Family issues will always be difficult so try to find time to relax and laugh, even if it’s just for a moment.
